This is the greatest book one could ever read. I never considered myself an egoist until I read this. Before Stirner I was a socialist and readily dedicated to the false pretensions of humanity.

Read it.

I WAS AN ANARCHOINDIVIDUALIST EVEN BEFORE I KNEW SUCH "WAY OF LIFE WAY OF THINKING" EXISTED.

It's not that. Stirner really cuts through the hypocrisy of all modern thought. He speaks in general terms but the point he makes is clearly there: all things are nothing to me.

IT IS THAT. IT IS MY POINT. ANARCHOINDIVIDUALISM IS A NOIDEOLOGY.

Stirner wasn't about anarchism. Anarchism as he understood it, was a purely socialist invention and subject to the same tyranny of the marxists. It's funny...you probably read this book without understanding any of the historical context behind it.

Yes, and it is socialism which helped me understand where Stirner was coming from, ironically enough. He was a member of the left-hegelians and an opponent of marx. this book vexed the latter so much that he dedicated a considerable portion of the holy family to attack stirner's argument.

To say stirner was an anarchist is simplistic and untrue. There was no individualist anarchism at the time as we presently understand. Proudhon and Bakunin were tied closely to the socialist movement.

Stirner wasn't political, he was a philosopher through and through. Dumbass.

I KNOW, AND NEITHER AM I. AUTHENTIC INDIVIDUALIST ANARCHISM IS APOLITICAL; LEARN TO ANARCHOINDIVIDUALISM.

I can't remember exactly where but i read on some Nietzsche's friend biography that once Nietzsche confessed to him that he liked stirner's work. But in public he never admited this because that would give him bad reputation (Stirner's work was censored first, but then was considered "too absurd to be dangerous")

The only way language makes sense is if you agree to use it the way everyone else does. Language is, and always be, the foremost part of culture, and it is bullshit. Words cannot describe life and they will never be able to.

Well, Stirner followed his own philosophy until he died...his wife - the one he dedicated the book to - left him, and he was pretty poor.
